The blessing of sleep

Praise God! For the first time since Bubu and Mita have been with us, they both slept through the night last night. I say, "God, that is perfect timing." And right now, all of the children are napping, and have been for some time. I feel confused. What am I supposed to do? My body feel strange. Why is there no one pulling on me? My ears are ringing with the silence. Where have you gone, o din? Ah, the peace.

The styling Mitinka

Our dear friend, J.R., has given Mita one more reason (other than milk, banana-y oatmeal and clothes) to be excited in the morning. Sweet hair accessories!

My son

This morning, GRITS asked me, "¿Hay falafel en París?" To which I replied, "Claro, mi amor. Y algún día iremos allí y comeremos falafel."
